Pathogenic & Nonpathogenic
Microorganisms have the capacity of causing severe disease if the conditions are ideal enough to sustain the life of these microbes. As more and more microbes are able to grow, the risk of disease development rises. Although all microorganisms have the capability of producing virulent effects, some are more able to do so than others. Pathogenic microorganisms are strong enough to fight off the natural defenses of the human body and are therefore almost guaranteed to cause some sort of disease (Murray & Rosenthal, 2008). On the other hand, non-pathogenic microorganisms or opportunistic microorganisms are only able to cause disease if the body's natural defense system is compromised through either an illness such as HIV, or through the taking of medications that may temporarily suppress the immune system (Murray & Rosenthal, 2008). All types of microorganisms need to be in their ideal growth environment, or ecological niche, in order to properly thrive and produce their effects. If these microbes enter an area outside of their ecological niche, they can either be deprived of the nutrients necessary to grow, or may in fact encounter an environment that could cause them to grow out of control.
Clostridium botulinum is an example of a pathogenic microorganism. These bacteria are the cause of the severe disease that causes flaccidity and paralysis of the muscles known as botulism. These same bacteria however, are used in very small doses as the main ingredient in botox, a procedure widely used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on people (Murray & Rosenthal, 2008). This bacterium is a gram positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, obligate anaerobe (Murray &...
Cutaneous Candidiasis: A Case Study Candidiasis This case study involves a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with candidiasis of the inner thighs. The goal of this report is to provide the patient with information about the most likely cause of her condition and how best to resolve the infection. In order to accomplish this goal a review of Candida pathogenesis will be presented first. Candida Pathogenesis Members of the Candida genus, in particular C. albicans, can

Polymicrobial Diseases of Animals and Diseases Identify the research hypothesis and re-state it The research hypothesis is that polymicrobial diseases found in animals as well as human beings are instigated by polyviral contaminations, polybacterial contaminations polymicrobial contaminations that involve viruses and bacteria, polymicrobial infections that involve fungi and parasites and polymicrobial infections owing to microbe-induced immunosuppression. These aforementioned illnesses are severe and whose etiologic causes are every now and then challenging to
The programs were not implemented scientifically and the information provided was not accurate. But school authorities commented that they can only do so much and need parents' assistance through the value system set at home (Peterson). Incidence in Riverview, Florida Anal cancer is highest among men having sex with men at 35 in every 100,000 of them in this locality (Health Communities 2010). The rate is lower among 100,000 heterosexual men.
Capacity Building and Knowledge Management Capacity planning and knowledge management are terms that have flooded the literature in recent years. Many of the best run organizations in the world have dedicated resources that focus on each concept respectively. However, there is also a lot of overlap in the two concepts; especially with regards to human resources and training and learning. For example, when learning occurs and is documented to train other
